SPC 1200Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1241 AM CDT Mon Jun 17 2024 Valid 171200Z - 181200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PLAINS INTO THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY... ...SUMMARY... Scattered strong to severe storms are possible across the central and northern Plains into the upper Mississippi Valley. ...Central/Northern Plains-upper MS Valley... Strong upper trough is currently located over the Pacific Northwest. This feature is forecast to shift into the northern inter mountain region by mid day, then into the northern Rockies by 18/00z, as an 80kt 500mb speed max rotates through the trough to near the ID/WY border. This is a very dynamic trough and latest model guidance suggests a surface low will be well identifiable over central WY by mid day. As the upper trough approaches the northern Plains late in the period, surface low should reposition itself downstream and track from the NE Panhandle into southeast ND by sunrise Tuesday. This evolution will encourage a warm front to advance north across the upper MS Valley during the latter half of the period, though warm-advection precipitation may slow its northward advance a bit. Early this morning, a notable uptick in warm-advection convection is observed across the central Plains from western NE into southeast SD. This activity should spread/develop northeast along/north of the warm front across southern MN into the upper Great Lakes region. Elevated convection may pose a risk for hail. While the primary concern for thunderstorms will be along the cool side of the boundary, strong heating south of the front will allow surface parcels to approach their convective temperatures. Forecast soundings suggest negligible CINH will be noted across southeast MN into central WI along the boundary. If thunderstorms can evolve, deep-layer shear may support supercell development. Have adjusted SLGT risk along the warm front to account for both elevated and potentially warm sector storms. Upstream across the High Plains, strong boundary-layer heating is expected across the central High Plains of eastern CO into southwest NE. As temperatures warm into the lower 90s convective temperatures will be breached and isolated supercells should develop. Forecast soundings exhibit substantial SBCAPE (>3000 J/kg) and steep lapse rates, along with favorable shear for sustained rotating updrafts. Very large hail may accompany this activity. Some tornado threat will also be noted with these storms. Strong dynamic forcing will encourage convection to develop across the High Plains of northeast WY/southeast MT immediately ahead of the surging cold front. This activity will spread northeast ahead of the short wave into the Dakotas during the overnight hours. After sunset, marked increase in the LLJ is expected across the Plains from eastern NE into western MN. Severe threat will shift into the upper Red River Valley by the end of the period. ..Darrow/Thornton.. 06/17/2024 Read more

SPC 1200Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1241 AM CDT Mon Jun 17 2024 Valid 171200Z - 181200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PLAINS INTO THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY... ...SUMMARY... Scattered strong to severe storms are possible across the central and northern Plains into the upper Mississippi Valley. ...Central/Northern Plains-upper MS Valley... Strong upper trough is currently located over the Pacific Northwest. This feature is forecast to shift into the northern inter mountain region by mid day, then into the northern Rockies by 18/00z, as an 80kt 500mb speed max rotates through the trough to near the ID/WY border. This is a very dynamic trough and latest model guidance suggests a surface low will be well identifiable over central WY by mid day. As the upper trough approaches the northern Plains late in the period, surface low should reposition itself downstream and track from the NE Panhandle into southeast ND by sunrise Tuesday. This evolution will encourage a warm front to advance north across the upper MS Valley during the latter half of the period, though warm-advection precipitation may slow its northward advance a bit. Early this morning, a notable uptick in warm-advection convection is observed across the central Plains from western NE into southeast SD. This activity should spread/develop northeast along/north of the warm front across southern MN into the upper Great Lakes region. Elevated convection may pose a risk for hail. While the primary concern for thunderstorms will be along the cool side of the boundary, strong heating south of the front will allow surface parcels to approach their convective temperatures. Forecast soundings suggest negligible CINH will be noted across southeast MN into central WI along the boundary. If thunderstorms can evolve, deep-layer shear may support supercell development. Have adjusted SLGT risk along the warm front to account for both elevated and potentially warm sector storms. Upstream across the High Plains, strong boundary-layer heating is expected across the central High Plains of eastern CO into southwest NE. As temperatures warm into the lower 90s convective temperatures will be breached and isolated supercells should develop. Forecast soundings exhibit substantial SBCAPE (>3000 J/kg) and steep lapse rates, along with favorable shear for sustained rotating updrafts. Very large hail may accompany this activity. Some tornado threat will also be noted with these storms. Strong dynamic forcing will encourage convection to develop across the High Plains of northeast WY/southeast MT immediately ahead of the surging cold front. This activity will spread northeast ahead of the short wave into the Dakotas during the overnight hours. After sunset, marked increase in the LLJ is expected across the Plains from eastern NE into western MN. Severe threat will shift into the upper Red River Valley by the end of the period. ..Darrow/Thornton.. 06/17/2024 Read more

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1100 PM PDT Sun Jun 16 2024

For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude:

Offshore Central America (EP90):
An area of low pressure located near the Pacific coast of
southeastern Mexico continues to produce disorganized showers
and thunderstorms along the coast of Central America, southeastern
Mexico, and the adjacent Pacific waters. This system is expected
to move inland overnight and the chance of significant development
is decreasing. Regardless of development, heavy rainfall is
forecast to continue across portions of southern Mexico and Central
America during the next several days. These rains are likely to
cause life-threatening flooding and flash flooding.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...10 percent.

MD 1295 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 425... FOR SOUTHWEST/CENTRAL/NORTHEAST NE
Mesoscale Discussion 1295 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1042 PM CDT Sun Jun 16 2024 Areas affected...Southwest/central/northeast NE Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 425... Valid 170342Z - 170515Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 425 continues. SUMMARY...An isolated severe storm or two cannot be ruled out into the early overnight hours. DISCUSSION...An earlier prolific hail-producing supercell has weakened across southwest NE late this evening, while other storms from south-central into northeast NE have failed to mature thus far. Some potential remains for one of the lingering areas of convection to flare up over the next 1-2 hours, as a low-level jet continues to strengthen across the region. This may be most likely near/north of a surface front that will move slowly northward tonight. However, with the strongest ascent becoming focused farther north (into northern NE and southern SD), the window of opportunity for redevelopment closer to the surface front may be relatively limited. ..Dean.. 06/17/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
